Boom!
Two huge wooden wine cups collided, and amber colored wine spilled out along the sides of the cups.
Harmon raised his head and gulped it down in two or three mouthfuls before exhaling in satisfaction.
Han Xiao shook his head with a smile and drank a mouthful as well. The spicy wine flowed down his throat, and the moment the alcohol entered his body, it was immediately broken down. To him, it was no different from water.
At this moment, everyone was on the Rockfall Tribe's ship, and Harmon had invited Han Xiao and the others to his hometown as guests.
Normally, fighting for the position of Tribal Chief was unavoidable, but Han Xiao's appearance had caused the other candidates to give up in despair. The position of Tribal Chief fell into Harmon's hands without any suspense. Harmon was overjoyed and held a banquet on the ship.
Since they were all old friends, Han Xiao naturally would not refuse.
"Congratulations, you are the next Rockfall Tribe Chief." The other Tribal Chiefs of the Luhan Beastman Civilization all came up to congratulate Harmon while sizing up Han Xiao with envy.
They did not know why Harmon would have such a good relationship with a Beyond Grade A Super. The War Alliance of the Tribal Chiefs was also a symbol of his connections. With a Beyond Grade A Super as a friend, the various Tribal Chiefs knew that after Harmon inherited the position, the Rockfall Tribe would most likely rise up and possess even greater authority.
Looking at Harmon, who was receiving the congratulations of his tribesmen, Han Xiao pondered. In his previous life, this storyline mission had been simple and crude. From the beginning to the end, Harmon had obtained the position of Tribal Chief through battle. Now that he had intervened, there was no battle, and he felt that there might not be a Dungeon Crystal.
However, this did not matter to Han Xiao. He did not care about the mission reward. The reason he had come to help was because he had been friends with Harmon for more than ten years. Harmon had joined him when he was still a Black Star Mercenary, and Han Xiao was not stingy with helping an old friend like him. It was the same for Herlous back then as well.
At the banquet table nearby, Hardaway was stuffing a large piece of charred meat into his mouth while glancing at Harmon. Moving his butt, he moved to Hella's side and whispered, "Black Star seems to have a pretty good relationship with that beastman. Has he always been so concerned about his subordinates?"
Hella was frowning and staring at the sediment at the bottom of the cup that seemed to be some kind of beast's eyeball. Hearing this, she glanced at Hardaway expressionlessly. Her indifferent eyes seemed to say, "Stay away from me."
Hardaway was snubbed, so he moved his butt to Fu Ding's side and whispered, "Brother Fu Ding, has Black Star always treated me this well?"
Fu Ding rolled his eyes.
"Go away, I'm Chen Xing."
Not far away, a group of players had gathered and were whispering to each other as they scanned the many famous Black Star Guards.
"I heard that Black Star is going to the Bloodshed Land's headquarters this time. Could he be there to cause trouble?"
"I'm not sure, but Black Star and the Tyrant are going to meet again. There will definitely be a good show to watch."
After Harmon's War League Mission was completed, Han Xiao had issued a new mission to this group of players through the faction interface, telling them to follow him.
Although he did not intend to bring the players to the Tyrant's party, it was not appropriate to leave them in the Sol Cluster halfway. It would not be good if they lost this bunch of leeks. Thus, he gave them a mission with generous rewards so that they would not run around randomly.
Pork Bun was not among this group of people, but there were some who posted on the forums, announcing his whereabouts. Now, all the players knew that he had gone to the Bloodshed Land's headquarters with Ames. Some even said that they were on their honeymoon and were specifically looking for the Tyrant to fight. This was very Beyond Grade A Super.
Ever since Han Xiao and Ames formed an alliance, there was a trend of couples forming on the forums, believing that there was definitely something fishy going on between the two Beyond Grade As. There were even some who wrote a series of pornographic novels about how Black Star had turned the tables and subdued a strong woman, and it was quite popular.
"Your Excellency Black Star …"
Just as he was drinking, someone suddenly called out to him. Han Xiao looked over and saw that it was Faleta who had come to his side. He had a look of hesitation on his face.
"What's the matter?" Han Xiao smiled. After all, this was Harmon's father, so his attitude was much more amiable.
Faleta coughed and said, "Can we talk in private?"
Han Xiaoxin nodded, put down his wine glass, and walked out of the banquet hall with Faleta, arriving at an empty corridor on the spaceship.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Your Excellency Black Star, may I ask … what's the relationship between you and Harmon?" Faleta asked carefully.
"He joined me more than ten years ago and helped me a lot. When my mother planet was facing a disaster, he contributed a lot. When I wasn't even a Calamity Grade, I already agreed to join his War Alliance, so you can rest assured that I have no other intentions toward your Luhan Beastmen." Han Xiao smiled. He was clear about Faleta's concerns.
After all, a Beyond Grade A Super specially helping someone fight for the position of leader of a branch of a Star System civilization seemed to have ulterior motives.
Faleta looked hesitant. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Your Excellency Black Star, I have a request … I wonder if the Black Star Corps is willing to accept race migration business?"
Han Xiao blinked and signaled for him to continue.
"The origin of our Luhan Beastmen was originally a wandering civilization. Although we have formed a Star System civilization, every tribe is actually an independent nation. In the direction of the development of our civilization, we have a lot of differences. I hope that the Rockfall Tribe can migrate and leave the Sol Cluster."
"Why?" Han Xiao was curious.
"The Sol Cluster is the territory of the Klent Kingdom, and their desire for control is very strong. There are several Star System civilizations in this Star System, and our Luhan Beastmen civilization is just one of them.
The other civilizations more or less have Klent's background, so they worked together to squeeze us out and squeeze our resources. Their goal is to force us to become Klent's vassal. A hundred years ago, we had a total of three Star Zones, but now, we only have one and a half. The Luhan Beastmen are brave and good at fighting, and the proportion of Supers in our tribe is very high. Klent has always had intentions toward us.
Our Rockfall Tribe is an independent faction. We want to maintain our independence and are not willing to become Klent's vassal. However, most tribes want to compromise with Klent, and we have no choice but to find another way out. "
Hearing this, Han Xiao stroked his chin and pondered. This kind of thing was not uncommon in the universe. When a civilization had multiple regimes, such differences would often occur when it involved the future of the entire race.
This kind of regime was actually not suitable for a Star System civilization. In the Galaxy, where there were many organizations, the decisions made by a civilization had to be responsible for the entire race. However, a branch regime had its own interests, so it was very easy to have conflicts. Unfortunately, due to the history of the Luhan Beastmen, they were forced to form such a system. Even if they recognized the problem, it was very difficult to change it. No tribe was willing to give up their power.
The Luhan Beastmen civilization was a relatively weak Star System civilization. Every tribe controlled a few colonial planets, and there were only about a hundred planets in total. They were scattered in different places.
A Star System usually had more than ten Star Zones. For example, a powerful Star System civilization like Godora could dominate a Star System and rule all the Star Zones. However, some Star Systems had multiple Star System civilizations, each occupying some Star Zones and fighting for resources. Such Star System civilizations were naturally weaker compared to other civilizations of the same level.
Han Xiao nodded. "You want the Rockfall Tribe to become independent, leave the joint civilization, and develop on their own in another Star Cluster as a branch of the Luhan Beastmen?"
"That's right," Halletta quickly agreed.
"Do you know the consequences? If you do that, a large portion of the tribe members will choose to stay and not migrate with you." Han Xiao raised his brows.
"I'll take care of this. There are many other tribes who are unhappy with Klent," Halletta said with a deep voice.
Hearing this, Han Xiao did not ask anymore and slowly said, "Okay, you can contact me anytime once you've made up your mind."
Other people's tribes were responsible for them. He was only responsible for receiving money. With the current ability of the Black Star Corps, it was not difficult to take care of the migration of a tribe.
In the universe, it was not uncommon for a branch of a civilization to seek to develop independently, so he was not surprised by this.
Halletta nodded. The migration process was very dangerous, and they needed military protection. He was originally hesitant, but after seeing the relationship between Harmon and Black Star, he felt that the Black Star Corps might be able to realize this idea.
The migration matter still had to be discussed with the next chief, Harmon. However, with Harmon's personality and experience, he would most likely reject becoming a vassal of Klent like him.
The group took a spaceship to the planet of the Rockfall Tribe and stayed as guests for three days. Han Xiao then said goodbye to Harmon and continued to head toward Bloodshed Land with the others.
Harmon had returned to be the chief, but if the Rockfall Tribe really wanted to migrate, there would still be opportunities to interact with them in the future.
…
Ten days later …
A thin line of blue light streaked across the pitch-black space, jumping at high speed.
The blue stream of light only stopped when Planet Heber appeared in their vision, revealing the appearance of a spaceship and slowly flying toward Planet Heber. At this moment, there were already a large number of spaceships taking off and landing on Planet Heber.
"The last time I was here was more than ten years ago, right?" Looking at Planet Heber and the familiar base group, Han Xiao turned to look at Ames, who was standing beside him. "I came here with you."
"You were much cuter back then." Ames smiled.
"Time really flies." Han Xiao sighed and let Philip control the spaceship to land.
This was the second time he had stepped into the headquarters of Bloodshed Land. More than ten years ago, he had been Ames' follower, but today, he was the big boss of the Shattered Star Ring who had received an official invitation.
The spaceship had already reported its identity and entered the port according to the instructions. After the battleship stopped, Hella and the other Black Star Guards led the way and walked out of the spaceship first. Han Xiao and Ames then stepped onto the dock.
Both of them were dressed in black. Han Xiao was used to wearing a black cloak, and a few mechanical hovering guards were moving around him mischievously.
Ames, on the other hand, was wearing a black dress with a high slit. The dress dragged on the ground like a blooming black flower, complementing her long and slender legs.
"Your Excellency Black Star, Your Excellency Dragon Emperor."
Vanguard Official Captain Wrothers was waiting at the dock and greeted the two of them stiffly.
"Yo, isn't this my old rival?" Han Xiao chuckled. "I still remember you clamoring to kill me during the war. Why aren't you so arrogant now?"
Wrothers gritted his teeth and glared at Han Xiao, but he did not dare to reply. The Tyrant had invited Black Star and the others this time with the intention of reconciling. These Bloodshed Land officers were actually unhappy.
However, this was Heber's order, and they could not disobey. They could only swallow their anger.
"Please. Follow. Me." Wrothers squeezed these words out of his gritted teeth. He turned around and led the way, determined not to reply to Han Xiao.
Seeing this, Han Xiao could not be bothered to tease him. He walked side by side with Ames and followed Wrothers to the guest castle.
He had attended the Tyrant's Party the last time and was clear about the process. He would probably stay in the guest castle for a few days to communicate with the representatives of the other organizations and expand his network while waiting for all the guests to arrive.
The players behind them were curious and looked around. This was the first time they had come to the Bloodshed Land headquarters, and they were curious about the intentions of Han Xiao and the others. The Tyrant's Party was an event for the upper echelons, and the players did not know about it at all.
They arrived at the guest castle without any trouble. There were already many representatives of the various organizations inside. When they saw Han Xiao and Ames, they could not help but be shocked. The atmosphere was strange.
Many of them had eager expressions, as if they wanted to rush up and show off their butts.
Han Xiao, who had the Evolution Cube, was now a hot commodity in the eyes of the various organizations. Everyone wanted to get close to him.
Han Xiao did not walk in immediately and asked, "Does the Tyrant not plan to see us now?"
"I don't know. Don't ask me." Wrothers's face was green.
He turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped. He looked at Hardaway, who was spacing out, and said in an unfriendly tone, "You're a member of the Black Star Corps now?"
"Hmm?" Hardaway came back to his senses and nodded. "Yes, I'm a Black Star Guard now. The treatment is not bad. Do you want to join?"
When Fosters heard this, he felt like he was being mocked and was furious.
Hardaway had once cooperated with the Bloodshed Land, but because Joad made use of him, the cooperation ended. He then joined Han Xiao like a father.
However, in Wrothers' eyes, this kind of behavior was like 'abandoning the dark for the light'. He was already angry, and he wanted to vent it out. With a cold expression, he shouted, "As the Vanguard Official of the Bloodshed Land, I challenge the Black Star Corps Black Star Guards. Who dares to fight with me?"
Hearing this, Han Xiao and Ames' eyes suddenly became strange. They looked at each other and saw that they had a tacit understanding from each other's eyes.
Han Xiao: Have we seen this before?
Ames: Isn't this the scene when you challenged that traitor Carroll?
Han Xiao smiled helplessly.
In the past, he had taught the traitors of Floating Dragon a lesson for Ames, but now, it was the officers of Bloodshed Land who were indignant and wanted to challenge his Black Star Guards to take him down a notch.
Wrothers loyally supported the Tyrant. Although it would not be as exaggerated as the Tyrant being humiliated, Heber had failed, and Wrothers wanted to get back at him. Thus, he targeted Han Xiao's officers. Although Han Xiao was an invited guest, their relationship was so delicate that he was not willing to please an enemy who had killed hundreds of high-level combatants of the Bloodshed Land.
Even a Beyond Grade A would not be able to cover up a challenge. Furthermore, more than ten years ago, the Bloodshed Land did not stop Han Xiao from challenging Carroll.
His voice was like thunder, instantly attracting the interest of the representatives of the various organizations in the hall.
Hella narrowed her eyes, took a step forward, and said, "Cut the crap. Where do we fight?"
"Who are you?"
"The captain of the Black Star Guards under Black Star, Hella!"
Killing intent flashed past Wrothers's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, a shadow suddenly covered his head, and a deep voice came from behind him.
"Come back."
Everyone looked up, and their expressions changed. The one who had come was the Tyrant, Heber.
Hearing that Heber had stopped his challenge, Wrothers's expression turned ugly. He turned around and left, quickly disappearing from their sight.
Seeing this, Hella also retracted her aura and took a few steps back.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked up at Heber, who was like a small mountain. Heber also lowered his head and looked at him, expressionless.
The atmosphere in the hall seemed to have become heavy. Other than Ames, everyone in the hall had difficulty breathing.
The atmosphere became more and more tense. At this time, Heber suddenly spoke, breaking the tense atmosphere.
"Black Star, Dragon Emperor, come with me. The five of us Beyond Grade As have a good chat."
Then, he turned around and walked into his palace.
It seems like we have to come to a conclusion on how the two parties should interact in the future … Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he did not hesitate. He instructed Hella and the others to rest in the guest room while he followed Heber into the palace.
"All five of us are here?"
Ames smiled faintly and followed into the palace.
